The profundity of teasing (29)

It seems to me that sexual power lies in being desired, or arousing desire, without experiencing the same desire oneself.

This is a noob suggestion only, but if I were going about the process of learning how to be dominant in a relationship, I'd find out what turned the submissive person on, and then use suggestion to bring about a situation in which they were in a state of high arousal, but I was not.

Or perhaps in the dominant's physical person, desire would be refined, silent and submerged, and thus made into a source of power over the submissive, whose desire is naked, helpless and plain to see.

I know that the main sexual motive for D/s in my case, would be pure enjoyment of manipulating someone else's desire to the point of helplessness, whilst remaining uninvolved and inviolate myself.

Wow. I am totally going to plagiarize this statement in the future. Well said. Well said.

I think I see what you are getting at but think that means I disagree.

I know He is not unaffected by my reactions, that He manipulates my behaviour to satisfy His needs. I think that maybe what you may find is that its normal to be aroused by seeing your sub in this position but the knowledge that gives you the power is knowing that you have the ability to choose if you do a damn thing about it.

and if this doesn't makes sense then apologies, am on mental work schedule and can't seem to wake up today!

Completely disagree.

Sexual power lies in having the self confidence to take your partner to a place where she is off balance, and to keep her there for long periods; to maintain the initiative so that she does not have agency.

Exploiting someone who is emotionally committed to you but with whom you are not emotionally committed seems to me closer to psychopathy than to BDSM, in my opinion.

It does make sense, and I think I agree. It wouldn't make sense without there being a mutuality about it. It wouldn't be possible for me to bring about that kind of situation without being profoundly involved - the difference would be in who directs the course of events, and whose body is the explicit locus. The desire would be there on my part, but hidden, which is important

I'm not sure that I meant 'desire' to mean 'emotional commitment'. It seems to me perfectly possible to exploit a certain foible or fetish, for example, that you know drives someone wild, but which has little effect on oneself - the emotional commitment would still be mutual, even if the stimulation derived by each party was quite opposite in constitution, because each would know what the other was getting out of it.

Please don't - if you read the rest of the post you'll see that the bald statement is qualified somewhat. From "Or perhaps...

Remember, you can change your sexual power provider at any time. And if you purchase your perversion tokens from the same provider you can take advantage of the dual kink payment and recieve a 25% discount by paying via a quarterly direct debit.

NOTE: Offer does not apply to any persons living or dead within mainland British Isles. Your home may be repossessed if the people at the office fancy a laugh.

Do not throw your cigarette ends in the urinal for they are subtle and quick to anger.
Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, as it makes them soggy and impossible to light.

LOL..

Peoples motivations can be far more than just a sexual or arousal. So yes for some your statement may be true, but for others it may not. That is why it is so hard to find the right person. Or so at least I have found.

I think your over complicating something that's actually very simple. Fundamentally I dominate someone because it turns me on and it pleases me. I still have the power, in fact I would say thatI become more powerful when turned on than when I'm not. If I did something that didn't turn me on because I know my sub loves it, then I am surely the puppet who entertains her whims?

I used to be a pro mistress and I got paid for entertaining my clients. Whilst that sort of domination gave me a feeling of power, it wasn't the sort of power I wanted over a none paying client.
